I have the light on a timer. It shuts off at around 11pm and turns back on around 3am. The space heater I have is exactly like you described. Its digital and has a thermostat built into it. I have it barely facing towards the closet so it doesn't just bake the plant in there.
Have it shut off during the hottest part of the day, probably noon to 4pm.

Right on I'll keep away from it. I just want to keep the plant alive from start to finish even if I only get a gram off of it. Once I learn and am confident I will put more time and money into better equipment. I bought the kellogs organic soil. But i mixed it with some seedling potting mix from miracle gro that I had on hand. So we'll see what comes of it.
That Kellogg’s is really heavy. Add a shit ton of perlite to it, or your seeds will never make it.

I bought some Kellogg potting mix from Home Depot. I ended up having to repot in fox farm. Just like you said it’s heavy. It started dying..now here is where it stands now.

Thank youu. I love being a dad. Something new everyday with her and it gives me a purpose to keep my shit together. The new "green" baby girl is just a bonus to this awesome life :)
Haha being a dad is awesome, none of my friends are dads yet :( its a lonely world for me. I'm satisfied with my family though, my human family and my plant family. Im glad to be here on this forum. Its hard to contain all the excitement growing brings me and its too risky to share the awesomeness with day to day people in my everyday life. Wow i got off track. Sorry

Update. Day 19. Yesterday I got home from work and two sets of leaves had the tips curled down. Went into panic mode. Didn't post anything about it just read previous peoples concerns about it. It was not a nutrient problem, it was a low temp issue. I cranked the heat a few degrees higher and lowered the fan speed. This morning she is perky with no clawing :) I will post pics when I get home from work. Have a good dayy
